And which members of the current US Congress voted for either of those acts?
Boru
We all know those members of Congress are long dead, Boru.
But the system of white supremacy that permitted slavery continued to turn the screws by enacting sadistic, thoroughly racist policies that were explicitly designed give tremendous advantage to whites and to cement blacks as a permanent underclass until the early 1970's.
This notion that slavery just kind of "happened" to the US, and that the driving force behind it no longer exists is insane.
The narrative here seems to be "That's all in past". My counter-narrative is that the past is nowhere near as distant as some folks believe it to be.
My own parents' formative years and early adulthood was spent living under the thumb of Jim Crow.
